Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has said that he cannot determine the fate of his deputy, Philip Shaibu, who declared on Monday, to run for the governorship seat of the state.
He said that the millions of supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state can determine his fate.
Obaseki stated this in an interview with journalists at the end of a closed-door meeting he, alongside the former Akwa Ibom State Governor, Emmanuel Udom, had with Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, at the Ramat House, on Thursday.
When asked why they were in Bauchi, he said that they came to discuss issues relating to the PDP Governors’ Forum.
“We came to see Governor Bala and as you know, he’s our Chairman, Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, so we decided to come and see him this afternoon, to congratulate him on his victory and discuss some issues relating to the PDP Governors’ Forum,” he said.
Asked if their discussion had anything to do with his relationship with his deputy, he said “that is part of it.
“We also discussed many other issues relating to our party as a whole and the state of the country. And as you know, things are not as we want them to be. We will keep rubbing minds to see how we can support the administration and save this country by reducing the suffering of Nigerians.
